I'm sure the idea was to make the code "safe", i.e. it won't run any javascript on your page. But it could still mess up your css.I would suggest if you do use this technique, LOAD IT FROM ANOTHER FRAME. That way it can't mess up the CSS.Otherwise it seems to me to be a cool cross-domain technique. It solves the "trust the provider" problem. However it still does not solve the "authenticated user" problem. A superior solution (at least until browsers tighten security) is the cross-domain communication iframe technique. It’s interesting.

Not many lines of code needed, and you do not need to do much different either... Hmm, as proof of conecpt it is nice however what is better is to create a simple proxyserver.

I see no point. This seems to be a classic case of reinventing the wheel, and even then I can't think of a case where I would need it.Do you have any examples of useful cases where this has been used?

Do you have any examples of useful cases where this has been used?
